Week 8- reflective surfaces

Week 8- reflective surfaces



This week, the focus was drawing reflective surfaces. This image was drawn using charcoal and took roughly 40 minutes to complete. The asymmetrical vase had a reflective surface.

Overall the image does show Specular reflection, where the vase is lying down on two sheets: one was a paper that had no reflective surface and the other sheet that had reflective surface. There is reflection/mirroring of the vase on the reflective sheet. Another success in this drawing is the composition, the focal point in this image is where reflection is presented. The perspective in this piece is very accurate. In this drawing I applied some impressionistic technique, for background, some of the surfaces on the vase, and the reflective sheet(displaying diffuse reflection). There was a fixed light shined on the object during the process, so implementing the highlight and the shadow was attainable to the image.
